Pdx 42" update

Depends if you're in earthquake country or not. With the frequent shakes here by us I took no chances. The house may fall down but the pizza oven will stand. LOL

I dry stacked mine. No regrets.

So - it's been a couple weeks since my last update. In that time I got the slab prep done and hired my landscape/yard service crew to pour and finish the slab. It's been curing for about a week, and I plan on starting the stand this weekend.

Question - dry stack block or mortar? I'm planning on using standard 2 cell blocks, just following the guide for the Pompeii oven.

I'll post pics after I get the chance to edit them.

Congrats! Good to see another build thread.

Good luck with your build!

So after doing some drawings and getting some advice on the forum, I decided to go with a 71" x 56" concrete pad and made a good amount of progress on prep work today with sunny sky and 50F temp! Perfect t-shirt weather for hard labor outdoors!

Here's today's picture. The stakes mark the slab dimensions. Using a laser level mounted on the back of my garage to help with grading. Really makes things a lot easier!
